访谈录 2010-12-19&12-21 关爱我们的孩子

-I know that this is a quote your father used to say. And I hope that I got right. There are people that are givers.

-There are two kinds of people in the world, the givers and the takers.

-The givers and the takers.

-The takers sometimes sleep better, but the givers always sleep better.

-Right. So this again, this year, and again, you know what, I, St. Jude Hospital is such a special place that, you know, I just want people to always give through all the year, because, because you know, kids just keep going there from all over the country, right?

-Well I think, yes, the children come from every community in the country. And what I think is great about this time of year, we are all out there, shopping and buying presents for Christmas, and henequen, all those wonderful holidays, and we are in a very happy mood, but we have to remember that, there are families right now who are fighting for their child's life. And I think a great way to remember them and to honor that is to, and also to give thanks to the healthy kids in your life, that's a whole sort of motto of the campaign, the thanks & giving campaign. We are so lucky to have healthy families, we are so lucky. Our parents, our children, our spouses¹, ourselves. So give thanks to the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not. And it's so simple. Because we have always great retail² partners. We have CVS, and Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Target and Key Mart, Kay Jewelers and Williams-Sonoma, Pottery³ Barn, all these great companies.

-So you get all these cooperate as friends,

-Yes.

-And basically if I go shopping to any of the stores,

-And retailers⁴, they are gonna ask you to leave a dollar for the children of St. Jude, that's it. So you spent 80 dollars, 100 dollars whatever you spent, maybe 8 dollars. In CVS pharmacy⁵ the average transaction is 7 dollars, and yet last year 7 million people put down a dollar at CVS pharmacy.

This not amazing? And the average transaction was only 7 dollars.

-And Marlo, and that does go directly according to your response just right to check and send that right to the hospital.

-What happens is they actually have an SKEQ key right on the cash register, so they don’t have to pay tax audit⁶ or anything. The money comes right in, the money goes directly to St Jude .So what I love about St. Jude and why I'm pride, to be able to ask money for it, I know where the money is going. It's not going to three other companies, or three other organizations. It’s going right from CVS, Williams-Sonoma, or whoever, and going right to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
